Maddox's POV "Maddox." I hear a girl's voice say, waking me up. I open my eyes and blink a few times. I see Izzy kneeling in front of me with her arms folded resting on the bed and her chin resting on her folded arms. "Scooch over!" She says standing up and I scoot back. She climbs into bed then nuzzles her face into my chest. "Remember when I used to swear there was a monster under my bed and refused to sleep alone. You would go under my bed and show me there was nothing there. You slept with me for a whole month. You told me you would keep me safe from the monster." I chuckled remembering that. We were both little. I remember being so protective of her, I told her I would never let the monster get her so I slept with her for a month until she got over it. "I'm sorry I couldn't protect you from the monster." Izzy said, her shoulders shaking as she began to cry. "It's okay Izzy, it's my job to protect you anyways not the other way around." "No! It's our job, we protect each
Maddox's POV I slowly start to wake up and feel a weight on me. It starts to move and I clench my eyes tight as my breathing picks up. Afraid of what they're about to do. I feel my body tremble as I try not to move while my breathing continues to accelerate along with my heart rate. The weight that was there moves off of me then I feel someone shaking me. It takes me a moment to realize I'm hearing a female's voice and open my eyes to see Addison hovering over me with a concerned look. She brings her hand up and wipes the tears away that I didn't know were falling. "I'm sorry." I croaked out, my voice rough from just waking up and crying. "You have nothing to apologize for. I'm sorry I scared you... I'm so sorry my love!" She says, her voice shaky as she tries not to cry but I see the tears building in her eyes as she struggles to not let them fall. I reach my arms around her and pull her into me as I hold her tight. Burying my face in her neck as I take in her scent. Her scent
Finn's POVI groan as I sit up and hold my stomach. Everything hurts from last night's beating. Mike the Alpha's son and his friends had their nightly fun with beating me. They got a little too carried away and beat me until I passed out. I woke up in the middle of the night barely able to walk.I managed to pull myself to my old worn out gym mat that's falling apart. That's my bed. I had a pillow and sheet that I managed to sneak out of the garbage once but Mike and his Goonies found it and tore it apart, even the sheet. I'm surprised they haven't tore up my gym mat that I use as a bed.Anytime I try to keep something from the garbage he always finds it and destroys it right front of me.Even clothes that I find when people get rid of perfectly good clothes. I mean they might be a little old and worn but compared to what I have they look great.My favorite thing I ever found that someone threw out was a beautiful small picture in a nice little picture frame. It was of a beautiful fiel
Finn's POVI was pretty much done with shopping, three grocery carts full but I had to use the bathroom. Jack and Nick follow me back glaring at me the whole time.I can't stand jack, he's the one who raped me by the pond that morning. Ever since then he says he can't get enough of me so he comes into the basement in the middle of the night several times a week to rape me.I shiver in disgust thinking about it. I know tonight is probably going to be one of those nights since he's around me right now. Yeah, he keeps giving me that look so I know tonight will definitely be one of those nights."You better make it fast!"Nick says in a firm cold tone that makes me quicken my pace as I practically run into the bathroom.I hurry, finish my business then wash my hands. I sprint out of the bathroom but as I turn the corner I run into a rock hard wall and fall backwards.The wall quickly grabs me before I can fall and pulls me forward making me crash back into him. My hands instantly going to
Maddox's POV I put up my mental block before I enter pack land, definitely not wanting her to hear my thoughts or feel what I'm feeling. Forgetting my bags I run straight into the pack house. I Ignore everyone as they call out to me while I run up the stairs. I can't, I can't look at anyone right now. I can't talk to anyone right now, I just need to be alone. My chest tightening even more as I finally make it to my room. I shut the door and lock it before running to my bed and diving into it. Pulling the covers up and grabbing her pillow while pulling it into me. I lay there and finally let it all out as I cry and break down. I can't, oh goddess I can't! Just the thought of being with a man terrifies me. My body hasn't stopped trembling since I left him laying there on the floor. I squeeze the pillow tighter before taking a deep breath in and screaming into it. My heart hurts, it hurts because I saw the hurt on his face, I hurt him. It hurts because I can't be with him. I just c
Maddox's POV I've been back now for two weeks and everything's going okay I guess. It doesn't seem like a lot of people know exactly what happened to me but everyone definitely knows that I was kidnapped. The first few days was the roughest, I know my pack members meant well but it was overwhelming. So many of them kept coming up to me excited to see me, excited to see I was okay. Unfortunately that did not go over very well with my body's reaction on several different occasions. Several different times I had a pack member run up to me and practically throw their arms around me so excited that I was okay and back. I'm sure you can guess how that went down. One particular incident stands out the most, that I'm the most embarrassed about and that was with Adam. One of the little omegas that was sitting down eating when I first came here. Apparently I made such a big impression on him that he fell in love with me as his Alpha. Not in love with me, but loved me as his Alpha. He was
Maddox's POVAs nervous as I was about the meeting it ended up not being that bad so far. The Alpha and his men sat on the opposite side of the table from us so thankfully I didn't have to sit next to any of them.Everything seemed to be in order and I just finished signing the last paper before sliding it across for Alpha Eric to sign.We hear a knock at the door and Alpha Eric says,"Ah just in time, boys how about a little refreshments and something to eat."He says before hollering out, "come in."I was pretending to reread one of the forms when the door opened. I heard a cart being pushed in which I'm assuming was the refreshments and food. But I didn't bother looking up, not wanting to make eye contact with anyone new at the moment.The tray got closer and my body froze as soon as I smelled him. I instantly dropped the paper I was holding and clenched my hands as my body stiffened.I kept my eyes on the the paper in front of me that I dropped, not wanting to look up at him.With
Finn's POVI was careful pushing the cart down the hall to the office. I made sure everything looked right before knocking on the door.As soon as I heard the Alpha tell me to come in I quickly open the door and carefully pushed the cart into the room. I was watching the food, making sure nothing spilled as I made my way toward the table.But as soon as I got next to the table I smelled him. I never thought I would see or smell him again. My heart began to race immediately. I bit my cheek as hard as I could to keep the tears at bay that wanted to fall.I couldn't afford to start crying in front of the alpha and his beta. That would definitely raise some red flags.I couldn't help but hope that maybe I was the reason he was here. Maybe he was here for me. I kept glancing at him but he wouldn't even lift his head to look at me. He looked tensed, his hands were clenched tight, he looked angry.It didn't take me long to figure out he wasn't here for me. My hopes again crushed, feeling my h
